ЂАЧКЕ ДЕМОНСТРАЦИЈЕ У САРАЈЕВУ 1912. ГОДИНЕ И СУДСКИ ПРОЦЕС ПЈАНИЋ–ЉУБИБРАТИЋ

Abstract

The student demonstrations of February 1912 in Sarajevo were the first significant joint action of Serbian and Croatian high school youth as a reaction to the regime of Croatian Ban Slavko Cuvaj. The demonstrations in Sarajevo lasted several days and came to an end only when the police and the army intervened. The student demonstrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after the Annexation Crisis (1908) and Žerajić’s assassination (1910), were a new warning signal that the provinces, due to the unregulated state-legal position and unresolved agrarian issue, became the neuralgic point of Austria-Hungary. The epilogue of the student demonstrations was the Pjanić-Ljubibratić trial held in the spring of 1913 against the members of the Serbo-Croatian Progressive Youth organisation. It was the first in a series of processes against high school students gathered within the heterogeneous movement known today as Mlada Bosna. The Balkan Wars, which started in the meantime, further complicated the political situation in the Balkans, radicalised the youth and raised a wave of revolutionary mood among high school and university students
